In a show of support for grassroots football, the proprietor of StarTV/FM HB Sissoho, recently presented two sets of jerseys, two balls and D10,000 cash to the organisers of a football competition in Sare Alpha village.
Sissoho, a native of Baniko village, said sport “is a very important part of life that should be encouraged from the grassroots level” and that is what inspired him to support the competition.
“As a community, we need to come together and support our young people to be motivated and excel in sport,” he said.
